Father/Son Retreat at Camp Berea

The ultimate boys’ weekend for fathers and their sons

A time for the guys to get away and grow in their relationship with God and each other

Let’s be honest: as a dad, it can be hard to connect with your growing son. When days playing catch turn into busy sports schedules and one-word answers, how can you show him you love him and continue to shape the man he is becoming?

Father/Son Retreat is the ultimate boys’ weekend, where you can unplug from the screens, get outdoors, and grow together as men. With daily spiritual encouragement and tons of adventure, you will spend quality time together, make memories your son will never forget, and build a legacy of faith for yourself and your family.

Father/Son Retreat is for you if want to:

  • Be present and intentional in your relationship with your son
  • Enjoy unforced quality time together and spiritual conversations that happen naturally
  • Encourage your son in his walk with God and help him become the man he is meant to be
  • Strengthen your relationship with your son, today and in the future
  • Make lifelong memories and leave a legacy of faith

What to expect at Father/Son Retreat

Days at Father/Son Retreat are a mix of ridiculously fun activities, spiritual encouragement, and masculine bonding around shared adventures. Morning and evening sessions include biblical, age-appropriate teaching from a featured speaker that opens up real-life conversation about the things that matter most. Between sessions, enjoy classic camp activities like canoeing and archery, quality time around the campfire, and fun dad-and-son activities like fishing, hiking, and some healthy competition.

Every day offers a new opportunity to grow in your relationship with God and each other and impact your son’s future as he grows into the man he is meant to be.

Every detail is taken care of for you, so all you have to do is show up, have fun, and be inspired to become who God has created you to be (shower and shaving optional).

What’s included:

  • Cabin-style accommodations for two nights*
  • All meals, from Saturday breakfast through Sunday breakfast
  • Daily chapel sessions with worship and teaching from our featured speaker
  • Access to all camp activities (canoeing, high ropes course, archery, riflery, etc.) + special activities curated just for dads and their sons

*Off-site rates are available for those who do not want to stay at camp but would like to participate in meals and activities.

Your home away from home at Camp Berea

Make memories on the shores of Newfound Lake at our beautiful camp and retreat center. Everything you need can be found on-site, and our team is here to serve and pour into you.

Where you will stay:

Your retreat includes cabin-style accommodations that house up to 12 men and that feature an en suite bathroom. Fathers and sons will stay together in the same cabin and be roomed with other father/son pairs/groups. We also offer private accommodations for those who prefer more personal space. Availability is very limited for private rooms, so we recommend registering early if you want a private room.

If you don’t want to stay on-site, you can buy a retreat-only ticket, where you arrange your own accommodation but have access to all sessions and activities.

When does Father/Son Retreat take place?

Father/Son Retreat takes place in late May/early June of each year and lasts from Friday evening through Sunday morning.

What are the arrival and departure times?

Check-in begins at 6:00pm Friday and the retreat wraps up by 11:00am Sunday.

What ages can attend Father/Son Retreat?

We welcome children ages five and up to Father/Son Retreat. Programming is designed for fathers and their kids/teens, but fathers and their adult sons are welcome, as are multi-generational groups (grandfather, father, son, etc.). We also offer Man Camp, which is wonderful for fathers and their adult sons.

What type of accommodations are available?

Most attendees stay in cabins that accommodate up to 12 people. Fathers and sons stay together in the same cabin and are roomed with other father/son pairs/groups. Each attendee is responsible for bringing their own bedding.

We also offer smaller group and private accommodations for those who prefer more personal space. Availability is very limited for private rooms, so we recommend registering early if you want your choice of accommodations. 

If you don’t want to stay on-site, we also offer retreat-only tickets, where you arrange your own accommodation. 

Can you accommodate roommate requests?

Yes, if you’re coming with friends or extended family, you can request to be housed with them. We also do our best to host church groups together in the same cabin.

How do I bring a group from my church?

We love church groups of all kinds! If you’d like to bring a group to Father/Son Retreat, fill out this form to let us know you’re coming. We’ll reserve a block of housing for your group. The men in your group will still need to register and pay individually to attend.
